Who Wants to be Mayor?
“Dr.” Ahmad Zahra, the immigration fraud, battery and vandalism perp, and false police report submitter, that’s who. He’s craved the title for five years and his record of attacking and insulting and questioning the morality of his colleagues has kept him from getting it.
The Council appointment vote is coming up next Tuesday and one thing I will bet on is that the Dubious Doctor from Damascus will not get the job, no matter how many boohoos show up to wail and gnash their at the horror of the injustice.
Obviously, Fred Jung, our current front man, wants the exalted title since he’s running for County Supervisor.
And then there’s the otiose, self-important windbag Shana Charles. She is (inexplicably) our current Mayor Pro Tem; she might nominate her running buddy Zahra for Mayor, but will be perfectly happy to receive the Mayor title for herself. Can she get three votes? Only if she gets nominated and Nick Dunlap goes along with it, like he did when he bafflingly nominated her to be Mayor Pro Tem a year ago. But if he does that he will surely incur the wrath of the powerful Lincoln Club, a big money Republican outfit that has supposedly endorsed Jung.
My prediction is a third year of Jung’s mayoralty, a year in which a sales tax increase will be the big issue for Fullerton voters. I see Jamie Valencia appointed Mayor Pro Tem, unless for some reason Dunlap wants that, which seems unlikely.
Am I right?
If I am, expect another one of those self-pity party monologues from Zahra about how his enemies (unnamed) are out to get him and how he has worked valiantly on behalf of the dispossessed untermenschen of District 5. Count on a ten minute discourse with many pained and pregnant pauses as he scans the audience and no one in particular.
Tune in to the Council meeting on December 16th to find out.
Valencia Mayor Pro Tem, just doesn’t seem right, but then again, maybe it would get her a nod at the next womans circle jerk.
Boy, we live in a sad town.
True.
Valencia as mayor would be hilarious! I would fully support that, just for my own amusement at least. I wonder if she’ll ever figure out what’s going on in those council meetings
As for Jung, I think 3 terms (not 2) has been enough. He was in charge when our deficit spiraled out of control. If he wants to own that, by all means he should nominate himself for mayor again
Oh, tender pud Elijah, the structural deficit was created when Fitzgerald, Chaffee, Flory, Quirk-Silva and Zahra sold us out 2012-2020,
No more Fred! Wasting this city’s money
Like the Trail to Nowhere that was supposed to cost the City $170,000 and ended up costing $630,000?
or giving $200k of giving city’s money to help immigrants when they cry that our streets aren’t fixed. How does that make any sense?
I’m not so sure I’d want my job as mayor on a ballot that includes a sales tax bailout.
What bailout? What sales tax? Nothing is on the ballot last I checked. They haven’t even been printed yet so what the hurry and the worry bub?
The story is that toward the end of 2024 Zahra wanted to go for Quirk’s job, but that OC Dem Central told him to get lost. The job belonged to union hack Ada Briceno but it is certain that they knew Zahra’s baggage and FTFR commitment to getting rid oh him would be embarrassing.
I still wouldn’t rule out a sham Zahra candidacy for Supervisor to take votes away from Jung. That’s been their MO for the past two Fullerton elections.
It’s literally the system agreed to morons. And it’s not for him personally. The position rotates through the districts. When you deny the mayorship to him, you’re disenfranchising the voters of D5.
No matter how many excuses you make since it’s your desired political outcome it’s a pig move by a pig person not fit to hold the office.
You’ll understand when this historical anomaly ends conservatives no longer hold the majority and no amount of Bushalabucks will be enough.
Agreed to by whom?
There has never, not once, ever been a vote on any policy of rotating THROUGH DISTRICTS for mayor.
Per usual, you invent facts to support your bullshit, John. Go flush. Wash your hands before embarrassing your family again.
And how, exactly is D5 “disenfranchised? Please be specific and tell us in what practical way this enfranchisement occurs?
Is it because Zahra’s handful of Latina acolytes won’t have the pride in having an immigration fraud, woman batter, false police report filing, plagiarizing, unemployed, supercilious twat as Mayor?
It also seems to me most of the whiners don’t even live in D5.
“literally the system agreed to morons.”
I would have said agreed by morons, but whatever. You obviously like misusing the word “literally.”
Let’s be real, Fred Jung ballooned our deficit
He had a LOT of help 2012-2020 with a Democrat majority (Fitzgerald was just a RINO lying about a balanced budget) and with Wild Ride Felz, Dunn & Domer at the reins. When the City should have been stockpiling reserves they were tossing money at the unions and build Bridges to Nowhere.

He did dipshit? What was “Major” Ahmad doing all that time? Voting “NO”? Protesting the “ballooning deficit” as much as he fought to be “Major”?
Let’s face it, Jung has been doing very little to right Fullerton’s fiscal problems. None of them have.
Totally agree, the only one that’s qualified is Valencia and Dunlap.
Qualified for what?
Refresh my memory. What has Valencia and Dunlap done again?
No thank you Zahra, the
“I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy”.
Watch your blood pressure, you’re getting worked up again Marlene.
